Doggy Day Care in Bratenahl

“This was Susan's first time taking care of Coco and I could not have been happier. She sent many videos and photos to keep me apprised of Coco's progress throughout the day. Coco is learning how to interact with other dogs and was a little skittish with Susan's dog when we arrived and Susan was very patient. I felt like Susan treated Coco like she was her own and that gave me so much comfort. I am very pleased and will look forward to entrusting Susan with Coco's care in the future!”

“Kyle was amazing with our 10 month old Bernese! He is extremely patient and understanding, especially when it comes to a high energy puppy! He sends multiple updates throughout the day to make sure you know your pup is being well taken care of :) We will definitely continue to use Kyle for daycare and other puppy needs, he treats Bogey so well and is very in tune with what he may need throughout the day ◡̈”

“We needed a sitter so we could go to the Rock museum and Pam was gracious enough to take him for the day! Thank you, Pam! He was well taken care of.”

About: Hi! I’m Sarah, and my husband and I are long-time pet lovers with extensive experience caring for senior dogs and pups with special needs. Whether your dog needs a gentle routine, extra patience, medication support, or simply a calm space to relax, we’re confident and comfortable providing it. Our Home & Routine We both work from home full time, which means your dog gets plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Our home has a secure, fully fenced yard that allows for safe indoor/outdoor time whenever your pup wants some fresh air. We also have one very dog-friendly resident pup who loves to play but is just as happy to give space when needed. Since we’re both home, we can easily customize the environment to match different energy levels—from playful pups to mellow seniors. What Your Dog Can Expect - Morning and evening walks built into our daily routine - Mid-day enrichment and play during work breaks - Safe indoor/outdoor access in our fenced yard - A home filled with toys, comfy beds, and cozy spots (you’re welcome to bring favorites, but not required!) - Flexible sleeping arrangements—dog beds or crates, whatever your pup is most comfortable with! - Lots of kindness, patience, and individualized care Communication Style We understand every owner has different communication preferences, and we’re happy to adapt. We can send as much or as little communication as you’d like—from simple daily summaries to detailed updates after each meal, walk, or bowel movement. Just tell us what helps you feel most at ease while you’re away. Why Dogs Love Staying With Us Every dog who stays here becomes part of the family. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, older, or has special needs, we’re dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and personalized experience. We can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐾 Feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests. Meet and Greets are required head of booking because we have a resident dog who is very important to us but also because we want your travel and time away to be stress free with no last minute "the dogs aren't getting along" messages.

About: I grew up with dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages—from playful puppies to seniors who need gentle support and medication reminders. At home, I have a calm and friendly 7-year-old standard poodle who has grown up alongside my kid. Dog sitting is also a chance for my kids to learn kindness, responsibility, and how to give back to our community. We care for every dog as if they were our own, offering a loving, safe, family-friendly environment. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. My 7-year-old standard poodle is calm and friendly, and having dogs around fits perfectly into our family rhythm. Morning walks, midday outdoor time in our 0.3-acre fenced yard, and evening play or cuddles are already part of our routine. I make sure each dog gets individual attention, follows their normal schedule, and feels comfortable and cared for from morning to night. Whether your dog stays in my home or I come to yours, I focus on keeping their routine consistent, comfortable, and stress-free. In My Home: Your dog will enjoy a calm, family-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks. I have a gentle 7-year-old standard poodle who gets along well with other dogs, and a 0.3-acre fully fenced yard where pups can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. I follow your feeding schedule, provide potty breaks throughout the day, and offer lots of affection and reassurance. In Your Home: I maintain your dog’s normal routine exactly as you prefer—feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and crate or bedtime habits. I keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send frequent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. No matter the service, safety, communication, and your dog’s happiness are my top priorities.

About: I have a soft spot in my heart for rescues and special needs pets. I have two dogs, Darling (an 11 year old terrier mix with special needs) and August (a 2 year old very active service dog), and three rabbits, Nanny, Nobby, and Midna. I am experienced in administering medication, providing stimulation and play, caring for pets with special needs, caring for senior pets, maintaining service dog training, and exercising high-energy dogs. I’m active and love to be outdoors, and you can often find me on a hike or walk with a pup in tow! I’m also happy house sitting and just snuggling on the couch with pets of all kinds! I work a hybrid schedule and live on the near west side. Ready to care for your pet and give them love, attention, and exercise while you’re away from home! My schedule is flexible. I can come by to walk, play, feed, and exercise your pet as needed and keep them on a daily schedule. I’m available for overnights and house sitting as well.

About: My life has always been enriched by animals! From gerbils and hamsters to frogs, turtles, fish, and rabbits, I've had a wide variety of beloved pets. I even seem to be a magnet for stray dogs – they always find their way to me! My current furry family member is Worf, a wonderful senior dog. He's the second senior I've had the honor of caring for, and I understand the special attention and love they need. Also, please note that I offer pick-up and drop-off services within Cuyahoga County for $40 round-trip fee. If outside of Cuyahoga County, please get in touch with me to discuss I'm fortunate to work from home, which means your dog will have constant companionship. If I ever need to step out, your furry friend will happily join Worf and me for the ride, ensuring they're never left alone. My wife and I live in a welcoming house in a quiet neighborhood, just a short walk from the Cleveland Clinic Main Campus and 20 minutes from UH. We're also close to Wade Oval, Case Western Reserve, Playhouse Square, CSU, Museums, and Theater Districts. Your pup will love our large, securely fenced backyard – perfect for safe playtime and stretching their legs. I provide worry-free pet sitting for those visiting from out of town and traveling with pets. You can relax and enjoy yourself at your wedding, vacation, convention, or other event while in Greater Cleveland.

“Monica sand her family did such a great job of taking care of my puppy. I have never boarded her before and felt so comfortable knowing she was in a loving home instead of locked in a cage at a kennel.”

About: Hi I’m Angie! I grew up in a home with four dogs of different breeds and personalities, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. Throughout high school I also dog sat many dogs for family friends. I now have my own Australian Shepherd puppy, Colt, whom I’ve trained myself using consistent routines and positive reinforcement. Colt loves playing with other dogs, and I’m very comfortable caring for high-energy breeds that need plenty of exercise and engagement. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide frequent walks, supervised play sessions, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also live directly across from a park where Colt and I go regularly, making daily outdoor time easy and enjoyable! I work from home full time, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day for walks, playtime, and supervision. I’m also home most weekends, so dogs in my care receive consistent attention. I take my dog, Colt, on at least two walks a day along with daily enrichment activities! I’ve trained him since he was 11 weeks old, so providing structure, engagement, and individual attention is already part of my routine. If you have a puppy, I’m your gal! I am willing to work with dogs of all age and even train during the day! I already work on 3-5 training sessions with Colt a day and am more than willing to add your pup in! I provide attentive, in-home care that’s tailored to each dog’s individual needs and routine. Because I work from home full time, I’m able to offer frequent check-ins, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day, with minimal time left alone. My husband is typically home during the evenings as well, providing an additional level of presence and support. Dogs in my care have access to a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and supervised indoor time as part of their daily routine. I have a friendly, well-socialized Australian Shepherd puppy who loves playing with other dogs, and I’m happy to separate or crate dogs as needed. Colt is crate trained, and I can crate visiting dogs too if that’s part of their normal routine. I carefully follow any detailed instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, training preferences, or special care to ensure your dog feels comfortable and at home

“All went well, my dog enjoyed her stay!”

About: My partner, Ben, and I bring over 20 years of combined experience caring for friends’ and family’s pets, and it’s something we truly love. We’re comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. We have a Chocolate Lab and a Boston Terrier who are friendly, playful, and enjoy having other dogs around. Both of us work from home with flexible schedules, allowing us to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. We’re available most weekends, unless we’re traveling, and prioritize creating a safe, attentive, and loving environment for every pup we watch. Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily and weekly routine. Since we both work from home with flexible schedules, we’re able to provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Our own dogs are already part of a structured routine, so caring for additional pups feels natural and integrated. We offer pet sitting, overnight stays, and daycare in both our home and our clients’ homes. Care is tailored to each pet’s routine and needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection.

“My pup hadn’t been to Travis’ in awhile so I decided to do a day stay to make sure my pup was still familiar with Travis. Before I even parked the car my dog was crying and couldn’t wait to get out of the car. Once Travis opened the door, my pup was so happy that he was jumping in circles. As usual, my dog came home tired. Looking forward to dropping my pup off in the future.”

About: MAGA? I am not the Rover for you. I have provided care to other people's pets for over 35 years. My experience includes dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards, goats, and horses; often, this was for multiple-night stays when clients traveled for work or vacation. Back in Colorado, clients recommended me to their friends and coworkers to the point I sometimes had to decline a job so I was not double-booked. I have experience in providing medication to pets orally via pill and syringe, as well as via injection in the scruff of their neck. Sadly, with their consent, I took a client's dog for euthanasia while they were on vacation out of state. I have also had the pleasure of caring for a litter of newborn Huskies, one of whom spent 14 years with me. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊🏾 I am currently not working and actively seeking a job, now that we are settled in. I will always communicate with you about any changes that may affect my availability. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈✊🏾 We have a small, fenced yard. We live in a quiet neighborhood where people walk their dogs on leash, so your fur baby will get exercise and stim. We also like to visit off-leash dog parks.

About: I’ve dealt with small to large pups in different breeds. I’ve handled all kinds of request like clothing when it’s raining or cold etc. I’m here to service you! I have a doggie and had her for four years and babysat other dogs two years before her. I work from home so my schedule is open to step away and attend to the doggies! I tend to take mine to the park down the street and go on walks three times a day. The doggies are free to roam around my home and have a comfy couch to chill on. There’s plenty of roaming space and toys that I keep! each dog has their own food and water bowl. In clients home I will follow any directions given.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life and my family. I am retired now, so my schedule is very flexible. My husband and I lead an active lifestyle and will make sure your dog is taken care of like family. We have a large backyard with access from a doggy door. We will keep you posted with photos and feedback on a daily basis. We have raised all breeds over our years as dog owners and have been blessed with wonderful senior rescues. Since my husband and I are both retired we are very flexible in our schedules and should be able to accommodate any timeframe that is needed. Our backyard is spacious and fenced in. There is access through a doggy door if that is negotiable for your dog. It can also be blocked if if required. We are very close to a beautiful park, which is wonderful for some nice long walks. We recently lost our 10 year old bull terrier to cancer and so our house feels empty without our beloved Walter. We will make sure your furry friend feels like family.

“My dog did well in Austin’s care. He enjoyed playing with their dogs and came home happy! He provided updates and was quick to respond. Austin came recommended by three different people. I will definitely use him again.”

About: College student looking for income! I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a kid, always loved animals since i was a small kid. Wanted to be a veterinarian but took the artist path instead. But i still have a strong connection and love for animals :) I am available 24/7 during the summer time. Any emergencies I can provide sitting services for however long necessary, no problem. As many hours needed I live down the street from a huge park. I stay in an apartment but I love taking walks around the area and there are plenty of areas to walk pets around.

“Brittany has been great with my 3 month old puppy. Based on how excited he gets to see her makes me comfortable and happy he enjoys his stays with her. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always taken care of animals my whole life. From dogs,cats,chickens to small critters. I love having fun with animals as of playing, walks and teaching new tricks! I’m currently free 7 days a week. My calendar is always up to date! If it’s green I’m free! If you ever need to drop off a day ahead or even have your pet stay an extra day do to some issues I WON’T charge an extra fee I understand life always throws things at us. I care for pets in my home like they are my own children. I love playing and spending time with pets and animals I love to spoil other people’s pets as they are my own I do have a closed in fence and is shaded so when pets are out there there is no problem with the sun. If your dog, doesn’t get along with other dogs please let me know because sometimes I do have another dog already in my care and my number one priority is to always make sure all animals are safe. I love to send you pet home with goodies such as toys, treats, blankets or whatever I have free for them!

“Deborah is awesome, my English Bulldog Winston had eye surgery and couldn't be left home alone. She took such good care of him. He was excited to see her each morning.”
